Herald Gaiters What jobs priority?

[nivlakian]

Give me one good reason how it benefits the jobs which can equip it in battle situation.

They were already given in this thread. Taking hate against kited mobs that take full magic damage like KB or his KS99 counterpart is a joke. All the enmity+ in the world won't stop that happening. Would you rather your BLM or MNK eat meteor and kill your alliance or would you prefer they are able to get away easier?

In battle situation Evasion+8 benefits MNK the most since they already have high natural evasion, but all the other jobs that can use have much better feet choices, its just to get around faster/is a novelty item.

Just because there are better feet choices does not stop you from equip swapping for various situations.

Right time to hijack. :O

eva : MNK 256 >>>>> SMN BLM WHM 200
so why monk need eva+8 if they already have high natural evasion ? >_<
we are not talking about solo, but HNM kiting. MNK have more vit, agi, eva, hp than mages...

..but all the other jobs that can use have much better feet choices, its just to get around faster/is a novelty item.

lmao what a stupid argument

[Bikwin]

sell them to someone that RMTs and thinks they NEED them, then buy something useful :z

[Hirronimus]

Hahaha. Seeing your responces, I will agree with Bert. Looks like you trying to have people post a justifyable reason why a WHM should have lotting priority.

Take your LS to Judge Judy if you feel wronged.

[Chumbelina]

Pff... no jobs need these for fighting, Crafters onry!

It's useful for running to the AH and beating that annoying JP to the guild.. You know, the one that buys all the cheap stuff and crafts it for money when you need it to skill up! (AKA: Cherish and Rets from the leathercraft guild on Bahamut)

[edgarfigaro]

BLM...because really, what else do we have to look forward, save an earring that drops from a currently undefeatable mob?

Honestly, should go to the most dedicated person that has a main job to lot it.

That is the right answer!

Don't worry, theres probably an alliance worth of blm's who are more then likely going to outlot you on it.

the most easier answer -_- which you can use for all item with multiple jobs...

[Hirronimus]

If you want to alienate your long time members who've obviously put more time and effort into accomplishing everything your LS has done, give it to the person who has lowest attendance and only recently joined, just because his so and so job has higher priority than "old" member with job that can equip but doesn't qualify as highest priority on item. /sarcasm off

How are Herald Gaiters any different? This mentality of item assignment is applicable to everything in the game.

Gaiters in my LS are assigned drops, not lotted, on the basis of activity and seniority. A MNK main has never gotten them, but we've never really had one that fit the first two critera. BLM/SMN/WHM in any order as long as they come to shit, a lot. WHMs will generally get them after BLMs or SMNs though since the latter two jobs equivalent of a Shining Cloth or Osode is this item. Yeah Genie weskit and Austere robes could be considered like that, but they're 1% HQ rates and thus fucking rare >.>;

I like this, BGsoku v. 2 on Giglamesh server!

[Fayth-]

I'd say BLM > WHM > MNK > SMN personally >.>

[edgarfigaro]

there's a huge difference between having job priorities on items that are significantly better for some jobs and having job priorities on an item by all accounts is nothing more than a novelty.

If a crimson mask drops, you're not going to give it to a drk over a rdm unless the rdm joined that day (actaully, you might). Rdms clearly benefit from it alot more than a drk.

Gaiters...not one of the 4 jobs that can use it can definately say they would be able to get more out of it than the other three. I personally think blms should get it for running away from Kirin/KS99/KB, but I'm a blm. Whms want them for running after tanks, mnks want them for the same reason blms want them, and smns...well...umm...I guess they want them for running away when their carby attacks an "aggro'ed" dolphin in sea. Therefore, either share them until you have enough for everyone or give to the person(s) that put the most into the ls.

[Hirronimus]

Either way, we can all agree that you're setting yourself up for LS drama when item desicion comes in play when LS doesn't have unanimous voice on who deserves them more.

[Demetrios]

If a DRK who has been in your LS forever for some reason wants a Crimson Mask (and forsakes Ridill, Adaman Body) then I would have to consider it against the more flakey/less active/less senior RDMs of an LS.

Activity/seniority > job utility

...with considerations of other "huge" items that job recieves. In the first example DRK is getting its share filled with Ridill and Adaman Hauberk. MNK is getting their quota filled with things like Osode, WHM with things like Shining Cloth but this isn't such a major item anymore, BLM things like Genie Weskit (however this is extremely rare,) and SMN has Austere Robe (which is equally as rare.)

Play ffxi (the running part) like mario kart, cut corners and save time, good lord people :/

Best answer in the thread, hands down. Done it since day 1, zoning rabbits in Tahrongi. lol
